As usual, Third Flatiron’s put together a thought-provoking and entertaining riff on the themes of immortality and longevity. I leaned toward the stories set in Fae (especially Frost on the Fields), although a couple of the horror pieces (The Last Son of Geppetto, Chosen) were really appropriate for the season.
Most of these stories are wonderful, and the rest are good! I spent a long time thinking of ideas for this anthology call, but never came up with anything half as good as the approaches taken in these works. The most dangerous thing is the opportunity to add the authors’ works to my TBR. First class.
28 stories 167 pages, of great and varied stories. Among my favorites were: Tree of Life - Where the protagonist tries to beat the devil at his own game. — Chosen by Tom Pappalardo, find out what happens when the Grim Reaper stops in at the local coffee shop. — A Last Word by Larry C. Kay, the last moments of the last human (depending, of course, on your definition of human.) Whether you like laughs or gasps, try it you'll like it.

The selections include “Tunnels” by Brian Trent about a long-lived man looking for the woman of his dreams; “A Billion Bodies More” by Sloan Leong where a woman dies a million deaths; “At the Precipice of Eternity” by Ingri...
As the editor, I'm partial, but can say that a number of these stories will make our Best of 2019 list.
A friend recommended this anthology of themed short stories, and after looking it up and buying on Amazon I was bitter about the high Kindle price. But if you can't trust your friends.. After reading the first three stories, I am considerably less bitter. Less than 300 pages with 28 stories, the book is an anomaly in that every single story is good! Normally, you'll find a good anthology will mostly be to your taste and some stories will still leave you flat. I don't know how the editors accompl...
